I've never bought any "bottoms" from Patagonia. Anyone care to share their experience with Patagonia sizing? I am smack-dab between an XS and S in this skirt I'm interested in, and it's not available in my local REI store:

It's stretchy, so my inclination would be to go with the smaller size, but not if it is going to run as small as the size chart says (waist 23.5" NOT!). I wear a size '2' in most bottoms.
